Back before the formation of All Elite Wrestling changed the entire industry, one of the most pressing questions on the minds of fans and critics was this; Would the Young Bucks ever wrestle in a WWE ring?

Now, of course, that possibility seems quite remote. In all likelihood, The Bucks will retire from the ring without ever signing a WWE contract.

But did you know that the Young Bucks have already performed in a WWE ring? They just didn't call themselves the Young Bucks.

In 2008, the reformation of Degeneration X was the talk of the wrestling industry. However, DX were now heroes, and heroes are only as good as their villains.

The Miz and Morrison were chosen to fill this role. During their feud with DX, they engaged in the venerable tradition of facing a 'ringer' of their rivals. In this case, the ringers for Triple H and Shawn Michael were played by none other than Matt and Nick Jackson.

Truth is stranger than fiction!
